MTL - Pivot of the Sky-Chapter 10 the first time
010, the first time ()
When Maria left Duque, the lives of the townspeople became as peaceful as usual. If the only difference was that Amon became a qualified miner. Every day when he saw the familiar town, he found that the streets and houses were filled with the smell of fire, but it was not so attractive to him, it always felt like something was missing. There seemed to be an indescribable emptyness in his heart, or as if something had been taken away.
Amon always remembered that scene, but he didn't understand it but seemed to understand why she did it. In her room, eyes were burning at each other. He put his hands on her chest, was about to kiss her hot lips, and was suddenly pushed away by a strange force.
He seemed to have known this power, a bit similar to the wave emitted when the nucleus was opened with a sledgehammer. Maria left early the next morning, of course following Lord Dick, but in Amon's view, it was like deliberately getting rid of some of his temptations-Amon would rather think this way, although this is not may.
Lying in bed late at night alone, Amon looked at the low roof. The blurry shadows and ambiguous lights always seemed to have an aperture flashing in the middle. He couldn't help thinking of her, even thinking, what would happen if she didn't push him away and Lord Gabriel didn't come in?
The fourteen-year-old had no experience with what happened next, but thinking about it, somewhere on his body was shamefully hard, and it bounced unchecked, making him excited and shameless. In fact, Amon is obviously stronger and more mature than children of the same age. He didn't think he just wanted to happen to her, but he really wanted that feeling, and he was a little puzzled and overwhelmed by it.
In the end, Amon finally thought that he wanted to understand. In fact, what happened at that time was not his decision at all, so he got up with a sigh and slipped out of the house to take a bath in Hanquan.
For some reason, for the first time, Amon had a desire-this biting cold spring can be even colder, soaking every pore in the body, allowing him to get peace of mind. But he hadn't lost his mind and forgot the old maniac's instructions. He should come out when a warm current rose in his body. Move on the shore for a while, then sit down and quietly adjust your breathing, close your eyes and listen to the sound of blood flowing in the limbs, and carefully feel the feeling of each pore slowly opening, just like you can see and control your body.
According to experience, at this time, there will be a warm current overflowing the whole body, making people feel very comfortable and quiet, comfortable to moan, quiet and do not want to think about anything. But today is not the same as before. There is a strange turbulence in the body and soul. The warm current becomes hot, like an impulse. The cold spring in front of it seems to emit a strange fragrance-that is her breath.
Hanquan could not get the same tranquility as before. After dawn, Amon used to go to the old lunatic to chat. He is not a man who reveals secrets, but such a thing is really uncomfortable in his heart. After all, he is only a fourteen-year-old child, and he absolutely trusts the old lunatic.
At first, Amon didn't say what was in the room that night, but just said that he was troubled while bathing in the cold spring. While talking, he lowered his head and looked at his toes as if he had committed some crime.
After listening to the old lunatic, he didn't feel surprised, but instead laughed and gave him a glass of wine.
Amon instinctively shrank and replied, "I don't drink." My father was an alcoholic. Amon had seen his father get drunk, and had an inexplicable resistance to alcohol since he was a child.
The old lunatic laughed: "Not everyone will become a drunkard, child. You have grown up. It's time to taste many things on earth, just like this wine."
The words of the old lunatic seemed to be a temptation. Amon ghost took the wine glass like a god, took a sip, and had a spicy and strange mellow taste. The taste was not very comfortable, but it seemed that he wanted it. He took another big sip and let the spicy heat flow down his throat and into his body.
The old lunatic raised his can again to fill his glass, and asked with an inscrutable smile: "If you are confused and want to ask me, just make it clear whether it has something to do with that Mary. Don't think I don't know, boy, so I say you're grown up. "
Amon was a little surprised and his face was red, I wonder if it was the reason for the wine. He asked in return: "What do you know? How did you know?" Then he looked a little bit to cover up, and then drank a long drink.
The old lunatic still filled him with a wine glass and shrugged, "I know what is my thing, you say it's your own thing. Don't forget that you came to me, there is something to say Look like. "
Amon was drinking for the first time, and the old lunatic's wine was so mellow. After a few mouthfuls, he became a little drunk. Finally, he said everything and then looked at the glass and said to himself: "I am like this Isn't it shameful? "
The old lunatic laughed suddenly, and the messy beards were shaking, "What's so shameful? It seems you like her, it's just human nature! ... But you look like this now, but it feels like a devil. Temptation. "
"No, Maria is not a devil!" Amon raised his head and shouted dissatisfied.
The old madman put a smile away and shook his head seriously: "You misunderstood, Maria is not the devil, but you have the devil in your heart."
"Devil? What devil?" Amon froze. In his impression, the devil is the representative of evil in myth and legend, and was disgusted and beheaded by the gods.
The old lunatic explained slowly: "You are wrong, this devil is not another devil, but the restlessness in your soul. This devil lurks in the heart, lurks in desire. If lost in this restlessness, the devil will occupy If your heart is betrayed, it is equivalent to betraying your soul, which is also called degeneration. In fact, one of the tests that the magician faces in the process of practicing magic is the temptation of the devil. "
Amon wondered, "I'm not a magician, would I also encounter the temptation of the devil?"
The old madman shook his head, his hair fluttered: "No, no, no one can experience the temptation of the devil, but for a theorist, if he wants to reach the peak of the middle-order god, he must pass this path. Test. As for you, this step has not been reached. The test currently facing is 'wake of desire'. The little story that happened between you and Mary is more or less related to this. "
Amon was more puzzled, and suddenly remembered something, and asked curiously: "The Lord Gabriel asked me a few days ago if I had studied physical arts, and you mentioned divine arts again today, can you tell me What the **** is going on? Why does Gabriel ask me that? Why do you say I am facing a test? I haven't learned anything! "
The old lunatic snorted and poured himself a glass of wine: "Why haven't you learned? There are miner skills in Duke Town, but no one understands it! And the way I teach you is different from what others have learned, If you want to listen to me, just shut up and do n’t ask any more, let me finish my speech once. "
Amon didn't say a word. The old lunatic was drinking and explaining what the magic and physical art were. On the continent, slaves are not allowed to learn physical skills, and only nobles are eligible to learn divine skills. It was the first time Amon heard of this, and he didn't know that there was a lot of devious content in the words the old lunatic would say--
Both magic and physical skills can gain superhuman strength, but they take two different paths.
What body awakens is the power of human beings, which stimulates the greatest potential in the blood. Myths and legends say that man was created by God, and the blood of the gods remains in the body. Waking it can strengthen the bones, increase strength and courage, and can also Makes people stronger and more responsive. When this power is fully stimulated to a very strong level, it can also be emitted from the inside out.
It is said that physical training was only a way for people to exercise themselves to become stronger, but later it was more used in battles and killings, and they had a lot of skills, so it is also called martial arts, and martial arts practitioners are also called For the samurai. There are nine levels of physical skill: Samurai of the 1st to 3rd grade are usually called low-ranking warriors; Samurai of the 4th to 6th grade are usually called mid-level warriors; Samurai of the 7th to 9th grade are usually called high-ranking or large warriors.
It is especially difficult to become a high-level samurai, which means that it has already ranked among the top warriors on the mainland.
What the magic spell awakens is the mysterious power between heaven and earth. The magician communicates with various external energies, controls, transforms, and uses them. This is an ability that ordinary people do not possess. It should have been possessed by gods, so it is considered as a gift from gods. Divine magic, like physical magic, is also divided into nine levels.
Level 7 to 9 high-level wizards are also known as great wizards. They are detached beings on this continent. They are almost as magical as the gods in the eyes of ordinary people.
Awakening power is required for both divine and physical learning, but the power of awakening is different. Awakening the power given by the gods is much more difficult than awakening the power hidden in the blood of the body, and few people can do it. It is generally believed that as long as the person is healthy, strong, determined, and religious, he can awaken the power in the blood and learn physical technique.
Which one or the main one is awakened for the first time determines the direction of one's cultivation. So there are far fewer magicians on the continent than warriors. On the other hand, there are certainly fewer people who are qualified to learn magic.
A few people may be awakened by both powers at the same time. There is also a strange phenomenon. When one power is trained to a great extent, the other power will gradually be awakened. Some people will practice both body skills and divine skills, and this mainly occurs in samurai. The process of practicing divine magic is much more difficult than the practice of physical magic, so the magician generally does not practice the physical magic at the same time, and the profound and complicated divine magic is enough to make them spend their whole life energy.
No matter it is an ancient deity or the actual situation, it is told that it is impossible to do both the divine and physical skills, and only one kind is the main and the other is the supplement. For example, a warrior such as Gabriel, it is impossible to cultivate the magic to the same level as the physical skill, but to use only simple magic to assist the battle.
Divine and physical skills are divided into nine levels and three levels. The difference between the same level is only the mastery of skills and proficiency, but there is a qualitative difference in the use of power between different levels. They are called: Awakening of Power. , Power control, power transformation.
Practicing divine magic is more difficult than cultivating divine magic. On the one hand, it is because few people can awaken the power given by the gods. On the other hand, each stage of the divine spells has to pass the test of the gods.
With the power given by the gods, the test that needs to pass to get started is "wake of desire".
The test to pass low-level divine magic to the highest level is "identification of faith."
The test that needs to pass to practice the intermediate-level divine magic to the highest level is the "temptation of the devil".
Before becoming a great magician, there is a difficult test "fusion of faith." ——Merge the world you believe in with the world you live in to transform your own power to an incredible level.
It seems that advanced body skills do not need these, as long as the practitioner has been strong and hard, it seems that it also contains unclear luck. This is not to say that the advanced body technique is easy, it is also difficult, but it is easier than the divine technique.
These are for the low- and middle-level situations. When reaching the seventh or higher level, whether it is a magician or a warrior, it is extremely difficult to advance to the next level. The secret among them is probably only the great temples of the kingdoms. Only the senior executives knew. Especially the highest ninth level is extremely rare on the entire continent. Whether it is a ninth level magician or a warrior, it is said that they have the power to fight against gods in the world, and they are even called demigods.
Upon hearing this, Amon could not help but interjected and asked: "Demigods? How can mortals have the power to fight against the gods?"
When the old lunatic told, he held the wine glass in one hand, and the endless wagging gesture. Interrupted by Amon, he asked with a bit of unhappiness: "Why not? Some gods who claim to be in the world are likely to be demigods .... It is said that such people are descendants of gods and mortals before they can have Such power.—I think these words are lying! "
Amon asked inexplicably: "Lying, how did you know?"
The old lunatic drank the wine in his hand, and he didn't know where to look. He answered clearly: "Because I know one, he is my student, and he is a 9th-level magician."
